Well, Danny, that kind of negative photo.net reaction goes a long way towards explaining why I have a bunch of images here and zero/zilch/nada over there!
Thanks for the kudos, they're much appreciated. And your suggestion of cropping the bottom up to the cloud peaks is a good one ... one would then have to do something about the tree branches also.
Joffre, hello fellow Central Floridian. I meant to comment on this earlier but I didn't have time. I can't believe somebody actually snickered about this image, I think it is great. Beautiful colors, the only thing I might consider is cropping the bottom portion up to the three black spikes. Again, very nice!
Petros, thanks for you reaction! Ever since I took this photograph it has been one of my favorites, but no one else seems to like it. In fact, when I posted it on photo.net I actually got laughed at by some guy ...
I really like the subtlety of this landscape, which is really about the clouds, less about the rest. I take your point about the foreground, however, it might indeed be helped by something more substantial there; unfortunately, there was nothing there in the real world!
Joffre, you've got some amazing color with this!!! Stunning! I would like to see something more substantial in the foreground for more balance. Nice work!
